Know How to Choose the Correct Print and Design Company

Everyone seeking printing assistance wants to get hold of a local design and print company with a national reach. Sounds nice – does not it? The ability to talk to someone face to face on your doorstep, the ability to sit with a designer to get exactly the results you want, when you want, same day turn around on digital print and 4 day turn around on large litho print. Offices based at 2 minutes from Uxbridge town centre with print, finishing and distribution plants all across the south of England; a company with the infrastructure to get the job done at the right price and deliver it to the right people at the right time.

Well, companies like that do exist! Probably you would not believe it; would you? But ‘total marketing solution’ companies are out there, the main aim of those companies being to ease the burden and pressure for companies by creating a one port of call portal. Think about it, knowing that whatever you need, in whatever timescale, can be achieved with just one phone call, without any stress or fuss. It makes life easier and enables you to just get on with the normal day to day business of running the company or department.

In considering any company whether that be a local printer in Uxbridge or companies farther afield, it is important to consider their ability to not only print the direct marketing material, point of sale, flyers or posters you require but their ability to produce multi-layered campaigns, incorporating website design, data requirements, e-shots to name but a few. In reality, printers in Uxbridge are not really in a position to fulfill the requirement like a ‘total marketing solution’ company will be. With this in mind, be on the lookout for companies that will actually relieve some of the pressure on you, rather than increasing your workload.

When sourcing new supplier, always take into account the impact it has on you, either as an individual within a department or a company as a whole. For instance, if the printed material you are purchasing is £10 cheaper with one printer but you have to spend 1.5 hours on the phone sorting it out, then is it really cheaper? Time is money and in this situation it is time and money that could be better spent elsewhere.

Any supplier needs to have the knowledge required to facilitate the job they have undertaken, but unfortunately this is not the case with many companies or employees, who either can’t or do not want to go ‘that one step further’ to help, go the ‘110%’ in order to make it happen! If that sounds familiar to you, then move, change to someone who will help, and do it now. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence, but that is not to say it is not worth trying!

If it is broken, then fix it! Take a look at what is out there, you might just surprise yourself.
